Vinegar Kills Fleas?
Or a Natural Flea Repellent
Vinegar kills fleas? No but if you are looking for a natural flea repellent, a weight loss supplement, a yeast and fungi killer, an aid for itch relief, stinky dog, and dog coat conditioner... it shines. Here are some internal and external uses.Important Note: Do not use white vinegar, red vinegar, or regular apple cider vinegar.
ONLY raw apple cider vinegar has healing properties since it has not been processed (killed).
Taken Internally - The Benefits of Vinegar
For a natural flea and mosquito repellent, weight loss in obese dogs, and a general tonic, here's the basic recipe: - up to 14 pounds: 1/2 teaspoon per quart of water
- 14 to 34 pounds: 1 teaspoon per quart of water
- 34 pounds and up: 1 1/2 teaspoons per quart of water
You can start with just a few drops until she gets use to the taste. Make this a daily habit.
Vinegar At Bath TimeA very soothing rinse for natural itch relief, control odor, and condition the fur:
Mix 1 cup organic raw apple cider vinegar with enough filtered water to make a gallon. Rub into the dog's fur well and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse. This one is much easier to do outdoors! 
Ear Remedy for Dogs
For an ear wash that kills yeast and fungus, mix 1 Tablespoon organic raw apple cider vinegar per cup water. Put a few drops in with an eyedropper and massage.
Extra Flea and Mosquito Repellent
Combine equal amounts of water and apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray light coat on your dog before you go for a walk or to the dog park.
Additional Notes
- Undiluted vinegar should not be left on your dog's skin. Applying it to open wounds, even diluted, will burn.
- Organic Apple Cider vinegar normalizes the pH level of the skin. Your dog becomes unpalatable to fleas just like with garlic.
- For human itch relief, hold a cotton ball on a flea bite that's been dipped in vinegar. For several bites apply a paste of vinegar and cornstarch.
In Closing to Vinegar Kills Fleas Unless you can get them to jump in a bowl of the stuff, I don't think vinegar kills fleas. If anyone has a positive result with a bowl of vinegar that's not placed under a light (see
flea traps
), please contact me via my contact page and share the details with me. For natural flea killers, see
Fleas in the Carpet
and
Natural Flea Control Outdoors.
I also found a cool dog supplement product with vinegar in it. Check this out.
